Well they say if you wait long enough two will turn up, well four in a row for me, for sometime I could not win for love or money a razor on Ebay, but I wont break my level of what i think it's worth for no vintage razor, would have to be exceptional for that to happen, anway this arrived on my door step a few weeks back, the blade though stained had no rust or pitting anywhere, looked as if it had not been honed siince it left the factory, the scales looked a little tired, so I got down to it soon had the pins and scales removed everything looking very good but it did have a lead wedge so that had to go, used a faux ivory wedge from a scrapped pair of scales in my bits box, blade look so nice started off with 1000 grit, then worked my way up to 2000, buffed polished to a mirror finish, man she does look good, now the scales pretty much same treatment as the blade lovely, only difference I made when reassembling the razor is I have a preference for double washers two different sizes purely decorative, I still think it looks far nicer in my opinion, well now the reveal I hope you like her. Jamie.
I would like to thank you all personally for your kind words and praise. hopefully over the next few months I can show you a few more of my restores. Regards Jamie
I have a custom razor I just completed and hopefully i will get some shots up in the next couple of days, probably my best work so far. But that's for others to judge. Regards Jamie.
